News & Views A bi-weekly section where readers will be informed on subjects of seasonal interest, upcoming events and other timely topics. CLERK'S CORNER - Greetings from the Township! First, huge thanks to everyone who was able to participate in another highly suc- cessful Township Cleanup Day! The amount of trash our residents can process never ceases to amaze me & this year was no different! With that as a backdrop, it's clear to see that even with the end of the school year not quite here yet, we are all in full summer mode. Soccer & baseball are in full swing at our parks & movies at Polar Lakes Park begins this month. One of the highlights everyone should keep in mind as we get into the summer is the Wall That Heals event in the first week of August. Watch for announcements about the event from the Township & the White Bear Historical Society in the com- ing weeks! Enjoy the season.
